Technical Description

The Dresser 712 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a heavy-duty compaction machine designed primarily for asphalt and soil compaction. It features a robust Dresser Diesel D240T engine delivering 87 horsepower at 2600 RPM, with a bore of 4.02 inches and stroke of 4.72 inches, and a displacement of 238.3 cubic inches. Fuel capacity is 6.25 gallons (25 US quarts), complemented by a 10-gallon hydraulic tank. The water spray system holds up to 180 gallons, essential for smooth drum surface wetting during operation. Its frame is constructed from 0.5 and 1.0-inch steel plate, ensuring structural strength. Weighing 7,140 pounds without ballast, the roller can increase up to 24,000 pounds with ballast, enhancing compaction force depending on the application. Ground clearance is rated at 18.5 inches. Maneuverability is supported by a steering oscillation of ±18 degrees. The rear drum measures 60 inches in diameter, while the front drum width ranges between 53.5 to 54 inches. Overall dimensions include a length of 16 feet 7 inches, width of approximately 4 feet 6 inches, and height near 9 feet 5 inches (transport height may vary). The Dresser 712 is equipped with hydrostatic drive providing smooth and variable control suited for construction and road work environments, optimizing compaction quality and efficiency. This model is noted for durability, ease of operation, and adaptability via ballast adjustments to suit various compaction requirements.
